Antihypertensive Treatment Beneficial at Normal BP Levels
Lowering blood pressure with antihypertensive medication reduces future cardiovascular events even in individuals with normal or only mildly elevated blood pressure, a new study suggests.
The individual patient meta-analysis of 48 studies of antihypertensive treatment in a total of 348,854 participants showed that lowering blood pressure by a set amount is associated with the same relative risk reduction in future cardiovascular events across the full spectrum of baseline pressures right down to a systolic of 115 mm Hg, regardless of whether individuals have existing heart disease.

“This challenges the widely held view that blood pressure reduction is just for people with high blood pressure or a history of cardiovascular disease [CVD],” lead principal investigator Kazem Rahimi, MD, University of Oxford, England, told theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology.
The new data, from the Blood Pressure Lowering Treatment Trialists’ Collaboration (BPLTTC), were presented at the virtual European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2020 on August 31.
